The Creature from Choke Canyon

The Creature from Choke Canyon

The 10th annual Rabble Rouser Round-Up and Fat Cat Schmoozefest shook the halls of the Emma Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center on 2/2/11. It was a true community celebration with outstanding contributions from many. We’d like to thank a few of those who made it all possible:

Program participantsGenevieve Van Cleve was an outstanding emcee who delivered a program that was lively, insightful, and fun! Former State Senator Gonzalo Barrientos struck a high note to start the evening with his welcome message. Jim Hightower was at his Rabble Rousing best, leading the progressive pep rally that lived up to the event name. Austin’s own State Representative Naishtat introduced State Representative Sylvester Turner of Houston who inspired us all with his eloquent look to the future of our state and the challenges facing the Next Generation of Leaders.
